Yesterday morning, I walked my daughter to her bus so that she could get on it. And, after I made sure that she was on the bus, I was walking off. I past some other moms that were putting their kids on the bus too. One of the moms that I have passed was talking to another mom. And she was in a conversation with her. The mom told her, that, "someone should shoot her." I passed by her and I pretended like I did not hear what she said. I left and went walking back towards my apartment. I thought that this was very creepy to hear.
She sounded very serious when she told the other woman this. I will be glad when we move from out of here. She stays on the other side of the apartment complex from me. It seems like everyday around here it is just getting out of control. So many things always be happening out here. Just this past Thursday me, and this girl saw two police officers walking around the apartment complex. They stopped to talk to a group of people about something. It was really weird. Then about five minutes later, two police cars was pulling out of the parking lot leaving. My manager always complains about how much that she has on her plate all of the time. Now, I see why!

Did she really shoot someone? That seems crazy to me. Wow! I don't like when I hear people talk like that, because it's NOT funny, it sounds creepy (you're right), and we can never really tell when someone is "joking" in this sense, because how would you know the difference? Who says publicly to another person that someone should be shot? I don't like that at all, I don't blame you for being freaked out!

It sounds like you are right to get out of that complex cream. You don't need all that additional stress in your life, and these people sound kind of scary. I lived in a complex one time that I didn't like. The neighbors were a little rough.

cream that is scary but perhaps it was said in jest, anyway
I sure hope so.Oh my dear do hurry your moving out as I for
one would feel much better for you and yours when you are
safely out of that place. the rent may be cheap but it looks
like the manager is not too choosy whom she rents to . and
it sounds like there are people there who do not care if they
break the law either. the police must have some reason for
interviewing
that group of people. yes it sounds really weird to me too

cream I will glad also for you when you finally move as it sounds like you have had one heck of a time in the entire area. It sure will be good to finally get some peace and tranquility. Maybe the women talking were discussing some movie or something. Hopefully, right because that sure was no proper way to be speaking in public as someone might hear and take the entire context out of order and oh gosh more havoc could be caused.

A lot of People will use that phrase when they talk about someone who did wrong, it does not mean that they literally mean that the Person will be shot, it is a saying that many People use
But you are right the sooner you are out of the Area the better as it does not sound a nice Area at all

That does sound scary. Do you have plans to move soon? Any idea who she thinks should be shot? Could it be a story line on television? I hope you stay safe.

i would not be quick to assume on anything about this woman since you were not able to hear the whole conversation... though she sounded serious... i think we can still give her the benefit of the doubt. hehe :D
just be careful and always stay happy!

Hi Cream,
I live in an apartment complex where the police are often out here too. I just keep to myself and don't get involved with all the drama that goes on around here and there seems to be a lot of it. As for what you overheard, I would just ignore it. It was probably something just said not to be taken literally. Since she said "someone Should shoot her" and not "I'm going to shoot her", I would just ignore it. You did not hear the entire conversation and don't know who they were talking about so I wouldn't give it another thought.

This is the very first time I have heard you seem really happy to be getting out of there. To have stated it anyway. I think the calliber of people that live in that apartment complex is VERY questionable. You need to do just as you are doing. Go through your life being polite when you need to be but do not interact with any of these people.

It is creepy to hear people saying out loud about someone deserving to be killed. We cannot deny that crimes happens everywhere but if people start to say such threatful things casually it does encourage crimes to happen. If i don't feel safe living in one roudy neighbourhood I will just move out. I certainly won't want my kids to learn any bad traits.But again it is hard to keep bad things from children. It happens everywhere. I guess we need to teach children to avoid to look at them so much and focus on other good things. Those bad things are just just a tiny black spot in a white sheet of paper.

Don't freak out about this, I say "somebody shoot him/her" in the same way I say "somebody shoot me" when things go wrong.
It doesn't mean anything, just a sign that I'm frustrated and unable to get my point across. I'm sure the conversation you've overheard was going in the same direction.

Some times the phrase "someone should shoot her" means to put someone out of their misery. So, perhaps they were talking about some lady who's boyfriend/husband is cheating on her and she's miserable because she found out.
She may also be meaning a sick animal, like they know a person with a sick dog and think the owner won't put it to sleep so the one lady said "someone should shoot her" because it would end the animal's suffering.
It would be creepy to over hear, but unless you know the entire conversation you are probably reading more into it than it deserves.

Wow! I would be really scared
to live around violent people like that.
I grew up with a schizo acting mom
and it was hard knowing when she was
going to go from sane to nutso and she could
do that in a split second over anything.
So I know from crazy and I can tell you
that even normal acting people can
go wacky fast.
You have to watch them every second.
I hope you get out of that situation with
your kids and all find a safe new home.
I'll be praying for you.
